MuseScore is open source music notation software and musescore.org is its home. It is a full featured Drupal website and it grows the MuseScore user & developer community. This session will reveal how the MuseScore adoption grew 1000% in one year time and how this can be attributed to Drupal.

In the summer of 2008, the core MuseScore developers decided to leave the static website behind and give MuseScore is own proper community website using Drupal 6. This session will reveal all the modules used on musescore.org and explain how the site was built with minimal custom coding. You will also get an insight in the crucial features to grow a vibrant community and get them involved in translating the MuseScore software, the website and the collaboratively written handbook.

This session will be focused on:

* Growing your website together with your community, from shared hosting to a cloud based solution
* Managing crowd-sourced translation of the website, the handbook and the software
* Key features for a strong community website such as a forum, collaborative handbook writing, Apache Solr search, fundraising, issue tracking and more
